Bristol's season is over. Charlotte is still playing for another week. Maybe it's just to keep giving him bats. He's a college graduate so he's probably more advanced than most Bristol players and maybe they wanted to give him a chance to see some tougher pitchers and continue to get AB. Minor league equivalent of a September call up would be my guess.

Pretty much. And since September callups were yesterday most AAA teams needed warm bodies to fill out their rosters.

My guess from reading it is that they don't think that he has a lot of upside or room for growth.

He's pretty much where he's at and he's going to have to continue to hit the snot out of the ball to get anywhere because he isn't going to get much help from growing into his body or developing his raw tools etc.

That's why he was drafted where he was but he might continue to hit, as Sandberg said.

What a stupid concept. G. Beckham had a now-body, then. People can get stronger without roids also.
